To pair with its strong overall grade, we awarded Norwalk an A- in our inspections category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. Norwalk received a grade of B+ in the area of nursing. In the other categories we looked at, Norwalk received a B+ for its long-term care rating and a grade of B- in the area of short-term care.
